Lmao!
Let's try facts. It is no coincidence that the top eight countries in the "world happiness index" are all incredibly homogenous in terms of their population composition. All eight of these countries have a statistically monolithic racial enthnicity demographic to the extreme. ( Switzerland, Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Canada, Finland, Netherlands, and Sweden ). With the exception of Canada, the birth rates have been relatively static for centuries. This has historically allowed for a viable and sustained wealth redistribution system and generous social benefits in terms of inflows versus expenditures. Natural resource utilization has remained healthy and balanced and the industries, goods, and services for which the citizenry has been employed is in many cases centuries old. Generations of families might be employed in the same fishing or lumber or hospitality livelihood.
In other words, remarkably static monolithic populations where everybody pretty much looks like everybody else and with low, static birth rates and until recently very little immigration (Canada excluded in that remark) and where there is very little competition or segregation in the population.
Canada is slightly an outlier compared to the Nordic countries. In 2006, 89.2% of the Canadian population was Caucasian, 6.7% Asian, and 2.5% Black. The same study identified 66.5% of the United States as Caucasian.
The USA ranks 13th in world happiness report. There is no arguing that the United States is a much more ethnically diverse country than the 12 countries preceding it on the list.
Why do wealthy Canadians move to the US, take up dual citizenships, and winter in the United States ? Why do Canadian graduates frequently take jobs in the United States ?
Canadians want to steal our dance moves, that's why.

Scientists rig so many test results that they're not even worth looking at.
Scandinavian countries are supposed to be so happy. That is if you don't count all the people killing themselves.
I just go by common sense. Diversity doesn't make anyone happy and neither does an oppressive gov't. Take any study with a grain of salt that says otherwise.

Well its mostly dark up there in the winter not to mention the stifling apartment life in the city and the daily mass transit commute to that exciting government clerical job.
I've been to Finland and people did seem relatively happy (is that even a scandanavian country?) but they also consume more alcohol than I thought possible.
Pure unadulterated bullshit.
1. Canada is 89 % White and 7% Asian by ethnicity, so being for all practical intents and purposes a racially monolithic society you have way more problems than you're letting on, because:
2. The House of Commons passed Bill C-51 in 2015 for some very good reasons. Namely, a running series of attacks and high profile threats from Islamic extremists within Canada, and the shear number of Islamic Canadians joining ISIS. If things are so peachy in Calgary, why are the young Muslims leaving to join ISIS ? Shit has gotten serious enough in Canada for the Country to pass a very serious and domestically invasive anti-terrorism Bill just last year. Unprecedented powers mandated to the Canadian security services.
Careful throwing stones in glass houses...
As outlined by the Canadian government, Canada has more hate crimes per 100,000 people than the United States.

Russians have always consumed lots of alcohol. Guess they're "over the top happy", too.
